A TIMELY WARNING.

The season is now approaching wher
"a large portion of our population, secE
recreation at some sea-shore to indulge
in the supposed benefits and pleasure:
of bathing, and they do SO without the
slightest thought of its perils, or taking
the least precaution against the risk o.
accidents, that are as unexpected as
they are unavoidable when they dc
occur. Year afteI-year the dailies and
.Weekiies chronicle the sad events that
so frequently happen, even to the care
full as we'll as the unwary, and yet those
who real the agonizing tales ofloss oflife
and sudden bereavements do nothing
to guard against them in their own
person or their families, as if they were
granted special immunity from danger
or believe that call men are mortal
save themselves"
We cannot understand how it is that
so many seek the ea-side resorts with
out the slightest knowledge of the art
of swimming which should be among
the necessary accomplishments of the
age 1t is absolutely necessary that all
should know how to swim, especially
those who battle for pastime at the
fashionable resorts; but we do not
mean precisely in the manner as taught
at the swimming schools, where pupils
are instructed into the different
"strokeS. " We do not believe this
sort Of instruction alone would con-
duce to their safety in sudden emer-
gency while clothed in their ordinary
attire. Even able and expert swim
mers, if suddenly plunged into the
water, would almost invariably become
confused and lose their presence Of
mind, because unable to "strike out"
as taught to do when unincumbered
with clothing. Swimming without
clothes is different thing from doing
SO with clothing on, and therefore if it
were taught as an expedient to save
life, it would be of utmost value to do
SO clad as usually. The two colIdi-
tons are entirely different, for the man
who can only swim without clothes is
little better off than one who cannot
SWIM at all when he falls into the
water with garments that become rap
idly saturated and heavily clinging to
his limbs, like bonds dragging him
down to certain destruction. When
accidents occur there is rarely time to
cast off clothing, or opportunity to
"strlke OUT as directed by the teach
erS of the art. When swept away by
wave or undercurrent while bathing,
or suddenly upset in the water, there
is no space of time to think-the mind
becomes blank or is paralized by
horror and no intelligent effort can be
made to save ones self; therefore the
only way to save ones own iIfe or that
of Others, is to be expert at swimming
with or without clothes. The need of
learning is great and the time is op-
perfume to remind especially parents
of the necessity of this wholesome and |
necessary instruction to their children
it will save many valuable lives from
an untimely grave.
